Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic Wave Electromagnetic Wave are waves composed of undulating electrical fields and magnetic fields. The different kinds of electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, form the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum, a speed expressed by the letter c (the speed of light) and equal to about … Read more Electromagnetic Waves

semi conductor devices

Semiconductor Devices:- Semiconductor devices are electronic components that exploit the electronic properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, as well as organic semiconductors. Semiconductor devices have replaced thermionic devices (vacuum tubes) in most applications. There are two basic groups or classifications that can be used to define the different semiconductor types: Intrinsic … Read more semi conductor devices

Nuclear physics

Nuclear physics Atoms in nature generally are electrically neutral, as they have equal numbers of protons in the nucleus and orbiting electrons. However, within the nucleus there are other particles called neutrons, which are electrically neutral but have about the same mass as protons. There are two numbers used to characterize a nucleus: Z, the … Read more Nuclear physics

Photo electric effect

The photoelectric effect The photoelectric effect is the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of, generally, a metal in response to incident light.A material that can exhibit The photoelectric effect is said to be photoemissive, and the ejected electrons are called photoelectrons. The process was discovered by Heinrich Hertz in 1887. Attempts to … Read more Photo electric effect

Ray optics

Ray Optics The wave model of light has one serious drawback, though: Unlike other wave phenomena such as sound, or surface waves, it wasn‟t clear what the medium was that supported light waves. Giving it a name – the “luminiferous aether” – didn‟t help. James Clerk Maxwell‟s (1831 – 1879) theory of electromagnetism, however, showed … Read more Ray optics

moving charge and magnetism

Moving Charge and Magnetism Magnetism is a phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects. A magnet is any piece of material that has the property of attracting iron (or steel). Magnetite, also known as lodestone, is a naturally occurring rock that is a magnet. This … Read more moving charge and magnetism
